No. 2000s Google, I could search for a specific string in quotes (like an obscure error message trying to boot xbmc on an old xbox, or a kernel patch for a hackintosh) Now it’s all some SEO bullshit about how I need to watch some asshole’s 10 minute YouTube video about something tangentially related.

i search for error messages all the time on ddg and it usually finds relevant results. it fails when errors are not sufficiently obscure, such as a common python error occurring in many code bases, permissions errors, vaguely-worded errors etc. But there is no way for the internet to guess context in such a situation. spam is not a problem.
if google is so bad stop using it.
